No matter how hard you try, even the most well taken care of carpets eventually
will get dirty and suffer the drips and drops of occasional spills and
carpet stains. Making sure your guests remove their shoes can only go
so far. Ultimately, it falls on you to care for your own carpet cleaning,
but sometimes carpet cleaning services are necessary. If you want to maintain
the longevity of your carpet and keep it looking nice for as long as possible,
then you need to know what you can do for your carpet. We want to share
a few easy-to-implement carpet cleaning tips.

Things You Can Do Yourself

When it comes to everyday carpet cleaning, you can do it all yourself.
It’s important, though, to do it correctly.

Vacuum often — and at the right speed. Dirt may seem harmless enough,
but it can be your carpet’s worst enemy. The dirt on your carpet
is made up of many tiny sharp pieces that shred the fibers of your rug
over time. If you don’t keep your rug free of as much dirt as possible,
then it can cut down on your carpet’s longevity.

It’s also important to vacuum slowly over areas of high traffic;
this allows the vacuum to suck up more dirt particles than many fast passes
over the area.

Things That Carpet Cleaning Companies Can Do

Not only can carpet cleaning companies like Lone Star Pro Services remove
dirt more effectively than your everyday vacuum cleaner, but they can
remove even the toughest of carpet stains. These professionals can utilize
advanced tools at their disposal to give your carpets a thorough, deep
carpet cleaning.

Carpet cleaning companies can provide a hot water extraction of dirt and
other contaminants. This is generally recommended as the best way to effectively
clean your carpet and should be done on a semi-regular basis.

No matter the severity of your carpet cleaning problems, a professional
can, and should, be utilized. On the other hand, if you keep up with regular
maintenance, this will need to be done much less often.
